Rice Lake, Wis., library hosts Hikes editor at meet-the-author event

A special thanks to the Rice Lake (Wis.) Public Library for hosting my meet-the-author session Saturday. Got to meet some great readers – a guy who collects edible plants, a former Wisconsinite now living in Oregon, and a fellow UW-River Falls alumnus (Go Falcons!). Three stops in the summer book tour remain, including two this coming weekend:
>>Friday – Siren, Wis. (In a New Light Gallery, 4-6 p.m.)
>>Saturday – Duluth, Minn. (The Bookstore at Fitger’s, noon-2 p.m.)
>>Aug. 10 – Chetek, Wis., City of Lakes Book Fair (Annz’s Books, 11 a.m.-2 p.m.)

Meet the Author

My name is Rob Bignell. I'm a long-time hiker, journalist and editor. My son Kieran and I have been hiking together for the past decade. Before Kieran, I taught middle school students in New Mexico and Wisconsin, served as an infantryman in the Army National Guard, and worked in newspapers. I've won several journalism awards, from editorial writing to sports reporting. In 2001, The Prescott Journal, which I served as managing editor of, was named Wisconsin’s Weekly Newspaper of the Year. Currently I own and operate an online editing business, Inventing Reality Editing Service. After spending several years in Southern California, my son and I now live in Wisconsin on the scenic Red Cedar River.
